Wildomar, CA
Big Easy RV and Boat Storage is a premier, specialized storage facility in Wildomar, California, designed to meet the high-security and environmental protection needs of Southern California’s outdoor enthusiasts. Managing a 4.5-acre campus featuring over 170 RV parking spots, covered boat storage, and climate-controlled units requires a robust energy infrastructure—powering high-definition 24/7 surveillance, powerful nighttime lighting, and an on-site wash bay. To lower operational overhead and solidify its status as a “Green” facility, Big Easy partnered with Stellar Solar Commercial in June 2019 to deploy a high-efficiency 15.41 kW (DC) rooftop solar strategy.
Designing a solar solution for a modern storage facility requires a sophisticated understanding of long-term hardware durability and site security. Stellar Solar Commercial engineered a robust system tailored to the facility’s specific roof architecture, ensuring maximum energy harvest while maintaining the clean, professional aesthetic of the Wildomar campus.
The technical architecture of the Big Easy installation features:
-39 SunPower 395W Modules: By utilizing premium SunPower technology, the facility ensured maximum energy density from its available roof space. These high-output modules are engineered to perform at peak efficiency even in the intense heat of the Inland Empire, providing a consistent and powerful stream of clean electricity.
-15.41 kW (DC) Installed Capacity: This system was precisely sized to offset the facility’s primary “house load”—including its 27-camera security network, extensive LED perimeter lighting, and administrative office requirements.
-Operational Since 2019: Placed into service over six years ago, this array has already delivered a significant return on investment, shielding the owners from record-high utility rate hikes and allowing them to maintain competitive storage rates for their tenants.
For a large-scale storage provider, electricity is a significant and traditionally non-negotiable operational expense. By generating its own power on-site, Big Easy RV and Boat Storage has effectively “locked in” its energy costs for decades. In the 2026 energy landscape, where utility rates for Riverside County commercial properties have reached historic highs, the foresight of this 2019 installation provides a critical financial edge.
Every kilowatt-hour produced by the SunPower array is a kilowatt-hour the facility does not have to purchase from the utility at premium peak rates. This creates a permanent stream of savings that can be redirected toward:
-Enhanced Security and Technology: Maintaining and upgrading the 24/7 HD surveillance and digital gate access systems.
-Amenity Upkeep: Funding the maintenance of the on-site wash bay, dump stations, and air-filling stations that define the Big Easy experience.
-Tenant Value: Keeping monthly rental rates stable for boat and RV owners in the Temecula Valley area.
Since 1998, Stellar Solar Commercial has been the preferred partner for California’s most recognizable storage and industrial landmarks. We bring over 28 years of technical expertise to these projects, navigating the unique structural requirements of large-scale canopies and masonry buildings while ensuring that facility access remains undisturbed during the construction phase.
Our in-house team handles the entire lifecycle of the project—from initial structural roof analysis to navigating complex utility interconnection and state-specific incentive programs for small businesses. We specialize in “quiet-professional” construction, ensuring that the safety and security of the stored assets remain the top priority throughout the project.
As we move through 2026, the strategy for premier storage properties has evolved to include Solar + Battery Storage. For organizations like Big Easy, adding a battery system provides an essential layer of resilience, ensuring that critical security lighting and HD surveillance recording remain fully operational even during regional power outages or grid instability.
Stellar Solar Commercial continues to lead this energy revolution, helping California’s business leaders build a resilient, low-cost energy future. We turn commercial rooftops into powerful tools for sustainability and financial success.
